Along with Justin LaBarre, I'm Jonathan Hood.

And on today's show, we talk about the headliner matches for AW-F forbidden door.

This is the Busted Open Podcast.

So the Forbidden Door card, as we talked about earlier, you know, it's going to deliver.

It doesn't matter if you are a fan of the product or not. The point is that the men and women are going to deliver in these matches.

And so we've got to go to what some believe is the main event, the AW World Title, and
